There are two recalls to reprogram the Stability Control (ESP) on 2005
Tucsons. The first is only for vehicles produced prior to 2/27/05 and
reduces system sensitivity. (Unofficially, I've heard that it could
activate at speeds of a few miles an hour, but I have no verification of
this.) The second applies to all 2005 Tucsons and makes the ESP more
active during "extreme driving conditions." It's possible the dealer
performed either or both recalls before you received the notice and you
weren't aware they did it. But I expect zero correlation with fuel
economy. In the first case, we're talking about infrequent erroneous
application at very low speeds, and in the second, we're talking about
conditions under which you're not likely to be driving the vehicle.

If you'd like to post your VIN, I'll run it and check for recalls.

 

I am willing to give you my VIN number, but not in this public forum. If
you will give me an email address, I will send it to you privately. Thank
you for checking this for me. -- Judy
